Hi Jim, I meet up with Colin on the 2 nd Tues of the month for a coffee and a blether. And also meet Raymond Hulse (ex ABC Cinema).

Was he the fair-haired projectionist who worked with Bill Cowie (former head projectionist at the Gaumont) and Tony Laing (from the ABC Regal?) during the 1970s/80s. Not tall, very nice guy, married one of the Odeon manageresses. Afraid I have lost track of him. Maybe another contributor will respond? Jim
I can recall a chap named Colin Morrice who worked at the Odeon Aberdeen, anyone remember him…
The club has been Nuffield Health since at least 2013 and includes a 20m swimming pool.
The Odeon Aberdeen closed for two weeks from May 25th 1959 for the installation of Todd-AO 70mm screen and projection. On June 8th 1959 South Pacific opened for a 16 week run.
I Was senior Projectionist at the Odeon from 1977 til 2001 and Projectionist in 1974 til 1975.
Regards Tony Laing
